English Language Challenges

Imagen
 Since I was a child I have liked the language, since I listened to music in English and looked for the lyrics to sing them and basically thanks to that I have a good base and it has made it easier for me to learn the language.  My experience learning English at the university has been good, because I have learned and remembered several things that I had forgotten.  One of the things I need to improve is learning to speak the language in public, as I am very embarrassed about it for fear of making a mistake or mispronouncing a word. I think the use of videotalks is very efficient, as it has helped me to be more confident about speaking English out loud, as I have realized that I am not as bad at it as I thought I was and I hope that this will give me confidence when speaking in front of other people. Another way to overcome my fear of public speaking would be to start speaking English out loud more often, either alone or with another person. Ideally I would like to have c...

Time Travel

  Hello, In this new post I will talk about time travel, where I have to choose if I would travel to the past or to the future. Honestly I'm intrigued to know things about the future, to know about technological advances and stuff, but at the same time it's something that scares me, so I prefer to stay with the doubt. This is why I choose to travel to the past. I would really like to visit ancient Europe in order to meet great artists of past centuries such as da Vinci and his great creations, Claude Monet and his beautiful and colorful paintings or also travel to Egypt to meet Cleopatra and be able to travel with her in her great and beautiful empire. I would also like to travel back in time to learn about history and art firsthand as it has always been a subject of interest to me. I would also like to be able to see people I miss and can no longer see, to relive the good times, as well as to be able to make amends for certain mistakes of the past. On the other hand, I would n...

Changes to my study programme

Imagen
  Hello, in this new post I will talk about the changes to my study programme. To begin with, I think there is too much academic load, to the point that in order to pass you have to dedicate a lot of study time to each subject, which leaves us with relatively little leisure time, and little time to socialize and have a good time. In addition, dedicating many hours to study makes us stressed, which is detrimental to us in many aspects. Another thing I would change would be the infrastructure, because the faculty has little space considering the large number of students it has, the classrooms are often overcrowded and the bathrooms are not enough, most of the time you have to wait in line to get in. The casino is very small and it is very hard to find a table to eat, besides, there are almost no vegetarian/vegan options, which is a problem for me since I have to bring my own food or else I don't eat most of the time. Regarding the use of technology, the university should impleme...

My dream Job

Imagen
  Hello, in this blog I will talk about my dream job, which is to be a dentist. I am currently in my second year of the career and I chose it because I would like to help people to improve their oral health, their quality of life and at the same time their self-esteem, since the smile plays a fundamental role in the valuation of oneself. The truth is that I don't know what specialty I will study, since I have been studying for a relatively short time and I still don't know much about the specialties, but I am interested in orthodontics, since I am interested in correcting the alterations that may occur in the oral cavity of my patients. I would also like to specialize in implantology, so that people can recover their lost teeth.  To be a good dentist I will have to have different skills such as fine motor skills, to perform the precise movements required for the various interventions related to dentistry, in addition, I must work in an ethical manner, doing the procedures in t...

My best concert ever

Imagen
  My best concert was Arctic Monkeys in 2014, at the Movistar Arena. This corresponds to a British indie rock genre band, which had its beginnings in 2002, and are still active at present. I attended the concert with my sister, who was also a big fan of the band. I had a great time at the concert, as I had been longing to see them live for a long time. They played many of my favorite songs from that time, such as "505" "One for the road" and "Fluorescent Adolescent". The atmosphere was nice, everyone was singing and enjoying the songs, also I was really surprised with the wonderful voice of the vocalist, Alex Turner.  A funny fact is that in the seats behind us was sitting Sergio Freire, my sister recognized him and asked him if we could take a picture with him, to which he agreed. Nowadays their style has changed, as their last released album "Tranquility Base Hotel & Casino" doesn’t really match the genre they used to belong to, and the tru...

Italy: a country I would like to visit

Imagen
   I would like to visit Italy because it is a beautiful country, with so many tourist places to visit, and also because I really love its culture and its food, like pizza and pasta. It is located in Europe and is known for having a boot shape. Its capital is Rome and the official language is Italian. It has a lot of tourist places like The Vatican, Venice, Tower of Pisa, Colosseum of Rome and a lot of beautiful landscapes.  There, I would like to visit all of the tourist places, learn about art and architecture and eat a big amount of pasta.  I would like to live there because there are a lot of things to do and I will never get bored. Besides, it is close to other countries I would like to visit. Maybe it would be difficult to get used to the language and the cold weather in winter, but I think it would be such a nice experience.
